Now this is gorgeous piece from the 1950s Mid-Century era and, in my humble opinion, the clasp looks like it was modeled after the sun or something so hot that it turned blue with sapphire’s and left a wide streak of pearls behind it. Anyhow, it’s a unique clasp with 70 round cut bead, prong and bezel set natural blue sapphire’s encrusted around a .20 carat round sapphire at its center. The total weight of the gem’s comes to about 1.25 carats and they range in color from medium to dark blue. The clasp is made of solid 14kt yellow gold and it is stamped ‘14K’. The clasp measures almost 1 1/8” in diameter and 8.80mm in depth. There are 8 strands of cultured seed pearls attached to the clasp and they are very well-matched both in color and size. They display a lovely white color with vibrant pink overtones and they measure from 3 to 4mm in size. The bracelet weighs 31.8 grams and measures 7” in length and about 1” in width. It’s in fantastic condition.
